my working time and my spiritual service – a wonderful feeling of oneness and rightness. I ask “May I approach?”, as the spinning light that has been travelling round the circle diminishes as if its work is done, for now.“Yes you may – come forward my child” – I walk towards the circle and as I cross the circle line I suddenly perceive each rock of the circle as a person, an old man is one, a being of light almost human another, another elder, a Native American, and another an elder woman from Aboriginal culture, as I look round the circle. It is like the circle has become a circle of guides, helpers from this time and from others, from this place and from
others.They all have a very wise knowing look about them and gentle eyes and there is a great feeling of gentle love and acceptance from them all. I sense I kind of pleasure that I have arrived – like they have been waiting for me to get to this point to unveil themselves and allow themselves to be more known by me. I am drawn to the fire in the center and there is a tall being of light standing by – I recognise his nature as that of my doorkeeper, he smiles and takes a rod from the fire with flame attached and holds it to my heart – plunging it in – I know not to be fearful for I have trust in him and it indeed does not hurt, I feel a release from fear, like the fire is burning up my fears and the old things that have held me back in my working and personal life. I get a sense that this is a cleansing ritual and that I am being prepared for the work I am about to do. I bow down low as he removes the rod in thanks and acknowledgement of the honour they have bestowed upon me, I do feel rather little, and somewhat helpless here but also filled with a kind of innocent trust. I feel very grateful for their helping me in this way. The I am drawn to look up at the star – it is high above shinning its light upon us all, as I look up I feel it send a beam into the top of my head cleansing and opening my crown chakra, like I have been cleansed emotionally with fire and now my spirit is being cleansed with high light of the star. I look back towards the fire and allow the feelings to become known to me.
I stand back a little then ask up at the star and to those surrounding me....“ Thank you for your help, healing and love. But what of this card as a card .... what of this experience is the card?” I hear from the star... “I am the highest ideal that one can achieve, I am the life's work of a
person, something they have been born to do – for many do not know what their work is to be – meditation upon this card and journeying within we will always help those who seek to find their true path. Sometimes the journey is just a set of directions, 'Just turn left now, then we will tell you the rest later if you feel stuck.' Sometimes we talk of the destination and allow the path to be found, sometimes we perform the initiation rite that allows the person to move into their new pathway as we have for you here today. I am the hope in someone's soul, the knowing that there is more to their life. I am the feeling of oneness with the world and the feeling of being in the
flow.As you ask the others of this card you will see how we all work together and in this way you see this card as showing how when each walks their true path each is fully connected with each other and at the same time is independent, for our souls reflect the oneness underlying all things, we are never alone, and we do not need to cling to one another for the all is ever present.”
I thank the star and look at the figures on the circle and ask of them their message in the card.“We are the spiritual family of the one who seeks – to seek us to know us this is the message of the card. Your spiritual family is near both in physical form and in spiritual
realms.Trust us and we can help you transform your world to one closer to your highest ideal.We can only help when you choose to enter the circle... it is your choice to come close or to remain where you are...we can not help by spiritual law unless your soul permission has been given. ” I then look into the fire. “I am the fire of transformation and I will burn all that is old allowing for new growth, as the heather needs to be burnt by the heat of fire for its true strength to be found so too I am the heat by which you will find your strength, and courage to follow your passion. Call me into your life when you want to move things on in your life.” “Thank you all ...” I feel the message for me here has been strong and somewhat humbling, I do also hope there is a message for those who read this. I feel this card is very positive and about hope and making dreams come true – there is a lot about responsibility but also about knowing that spiritual help is extremely powerful. I realise I don't ask for help as much as I could, sometimes continuing on feeling it has to be me who sorts it all out, forgetting
